Authenticates an application server or Web service client to the HTTP-based proxy server.

Data type: Character

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: SESSION system handle

This attribute corresponds to the -proxyPassword startup parameter. If -proxyPassword is not specified on the command line, this attribute has the Unknown value ( ? ) until it is set.

This attribute is validated during the CONNECT( ) method (for an application server and a Web service). If PROXY-PASSWORD is invalid, the CONNECT( ) method fails and the AVM issues an error message. If PROXY-USERID is not unknown and PROXY-PASSWORD is unknown, the application server CONNECT( ) method uses a blank proxy password. If SESSION:PROXY-USERID is unknown, the CONNECT( ) method ignores any value of PROXY-PASSWORD. PROXY-PASSWORD must be a string of up to 512 printable ASCII characters.
